Answer

Vitamins and other essential trace elements are crucial for children’s normal growth and development. If nutrition is sufficient, a child’s healthy growth should not be a problem. Calcium and Vitamin D often appear together because they are indispensable for bone growth. Active and energetic children need strong bones to cope with daily activities. Encourage children to eat foods rich in calcium, such as seafood, soy products, dairy products, eggs, and root vegetables.
